Samsung is known to be developing smart glasses, likely called Galaxy Glasses, and now, in a new leak, we can see its potential design, the underlying Android XR features, its expected specifications and pricing details. The leak comes from Android Headlines, who reveals this particular glasses will not include a display, and instead, the key pitch is built-in AI assistant access. So, you interact via voice and get feedback via directional speakers or bone-conduction technology. If that excites you, here are the details.
Samsung Galaxy Glasses is codenamed ‘Jinju’ and is expected to launch later this year, likely as a preview alongside Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event.
Its next-gen model with a built-in micro-LED display, codenamed ‘Haean’, is reportedly planned for 2027 at a higher price point.
The Jinju model is expected to be priced between $379 and $499 (roughly Rs 36,000 to Rs 47,000). This places it directly against Meta’s current smart glasses offerings.

Samsung could tease the product at its July Unpacked event. However, availability may follow later, like how Samsung handled its earlier XR announcements.
The Haean variant, expected in 2027, could cost between $600 and $900 (roughly Rs 56,000 to Rs 85,000), due to the addition of a micro-LED display.
The Galaxy Glasses appear to look close to regular glasses, which means people can easily wear them daily.
Samsung is also reportedly collaborating with eyewear brands such as Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. This is similar to how Meta partnered with EssilorLuxottica for its smart glasses. This matters because design and comfort play a critical role in adoption.
The early specifications point to a lightweight, AI-first wearable:
So, you would be able to interact with the glasses’ AI assistants with voice commands. And since there is no display, you’ll get feedback via directional speakers or bone-conduction.
Gemini integration is expected to enable real-time translations, navigation via Google Maps, quick photo capture, and contextual queries. So, largely, this would be a pair of AI glasses as Meta positions its glasses.
Besides Samsung and Meta, Google, XREAL, and Rokid are each exploring different approaches, from display-based AR to AI-first wearables. Apple is also widely expected to enter this space, though timelines remain unclear.
So, for users, more options, but these early models would act as smartphone companions and may not replace a phone or deliver full AR experiences.
Let’s see how the Galaxy Glasses pan out and what the future holds for us.
